Raku related information

What it is #

Routines #

Signatures are reproduced from the documentation, including their declared return types. A routine listed here is part of the type's published interface; whether Raku++ implements it is a separate question, answered by the examples below.

method compiler #

method DISTROnames #

Instance / Class method returning the names of the Distro objects that are supported by this version of Raku.

method KERNELnames #

Instance / Class method returning the names of the Kernel objects that are supported by this version of Raku.

method VMnames #

Instance / Class method returning the names of the VM objects that are supported by this version of Raku. Systemic, Compiler.

Examples, run three ways #

Every example below comes from the official documentation, together with the output that documentation asserts. Each was then executed by Rakudo and by Raku++ when this page was built. Where the three agree, one result is shown; where they do not, all three are — because which of them is wrong is exactly the information worth having.
